Well, if the Andriod devices are not safe to install the bitcoin wallet, the laptops / Desktop aren't safe too. Any device which is connected to the Internet increase the chances of getting vulnerable to malwares / hacks etc.

I think smartphones are a bigger threat than PCs and laptops. People are less careful when they are on their phone. And they rarely use anti-virus or anti-malware software, ad blockers, etc., on the phone. Malicious links and spam spread through social media. The easy access to mobile apps is another potential problem. Most people download and install various apps and games without thinking about the consequences. There is now an app for almost everything you do online, and people use them rather than opening the browser and visiting the websites. The permissions you give these apps are worrying.

You are right here but in most cases other than bitcoin, we do not have many choices to install the wallet on the computer. For example, one of the trusted wallet for storing bitcoin / Altcoins is Unstoppable Wallet and it does not have a desktop version. Also, another popular but closed source wallet is Trust Wallet and it also does not have any desktop app.

So, if the phones were so vulnerable, these wallet developers should also focus on developing the desktop versions too Roll Eyes
